Swords and Wales

I just got out of a sword/stage combat session, which was amazing. Caitlin, I have a sexy video of me sword fighting. I know you have a thing for guys with swords :) Anyway, we have a day off tomorrow, which is much needed and will be really nice. Julia and I spent last weekend in Wales. It was one of the most surreal and incredible trips I've ever taken. On the last day, we hitchhiked with a really nice couple who worked in a pub at the foot of Snowdon (the tallest mountain in Wales and the setting for the King Arthur legend). We had spent the day on a steam train that climbed to the peak of the mountain and took some amazing pictures. We actually saw the lake that is home to "The Lady of the Lake". So we got a ride with these two back to the town where our train was departing. We stopped at their flat so they could change out of work clothes, then went to a pub and bought them and ourselves a round of drinks. We had a wonderful couple of hours telling stories and exchanging information, then boarded the train back to London. Jonathan, if we make it out here next summer, we've got a sweet place to stay for free. They both do outdoor instruction in rock climbing, mountain biking, horse riding, etc. Sound like it'd be right up our alley. Well, I have to run and change before we have our first off-book run of the final scenes. I also haven't eaten anything today. I know, very uncharacteristic. Hope everything is swell back home! Peace.
